After visiting several loca businesses in my area and talking to the owners and managers, I’ve found out something kind of odd to me….

Many of these local businesses do not market their business, no newspaper ads, no radio, no flyers… Seriously!

In my head I’m thinking, “you are joking, right?” How are people suppose to find your business?

Of course, you’re going to get the occasional person(s) that stop in and will purchase a good or service. But how are you really suppose to thrive and profit, if you don’t have a constatnt stream of new customers visiting daily?

It’s just so strange that many business owners just think, because they have their doors open that people will just come pouring in to buy something.

It’s the totally wrong way to go about running a business. Marketing/adertising is the life blood of a business, not the products, the services, or whatever you offer.

Of course you want a quality product/service, but it’s all in how you market them that is the key to your success.

Traditional forms of marketing like the Yellow Pages, local newpapers, radio, billboards are fastly becoming obsolete in the digital world. Most people in the the western world has a cell phone and most of those being smartphones with internet capabilities.

Half of all internet search is mobile search and half of mobile search is for local businesses within the individual person’s location. Crazy!

This didn’t exist 20 years ago…

The staggering thing is… these numbers will only grow as we move forward.

If you’re not marketing your business online, you as good as dead, unless you’re a big franchise or have built a large word-of-mouth following (luck of the draw).

Doing local search engine marketing (SEM) is one the backbones to getting your business found by people in your area.

Showing up for search keywords that relate to your business/product/services in your area is how hundreds (or thousands) of people are are going to be able to find you.

It’s not as simple as throwing a website up and hope for the best. You need to optimize your website and doing quality SEO to get on the first page of Google to get found by your potential customer.

If you’re not doing local SEO in St Pete currently, now is the time to jump on board or your ship is destined to sink.

Having man boobs (aka gynecomastia) is not something any man hopes to have anytime in their life. But the unfortunate thing is a percentage of young and old men suffer this devastating condition.

Not only is gyno physically unattractive but it is also mentally/psychologically damaging. Just think about it…

Your a man, doing “man shit”, but when you look in the mirror you see boobs staring back at you. Your afraid to take your shirt off when it’s hot outside or when your at a pool or the beach. Your self-conscious of the shirts you put on, afraid that your man boobs are “poking out.”

Let me tell you from experience… it sucks! Big time! When you have gynecomastia, it’s on your mind 24/7.

The good news is…

You can treat gynecomastia nowadays! You no longer have to suffer from it.

Let me clarify something. There is gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia.

Gynecomastia is a condition caused by an imbalance of hormones during puberty that cause female like breast to develop on a young male.

Psuedogynecomastia is caused by the accumulation of fat building up around the areola/nipple area due to being overweight/obese.

For gyno, you can have gynecomastia surgery (performed by a plastic surgeon) to remove the dense fatty breast tissue and restore the normal shape and structure of the male chest. No pills or medications will get rid of gynecomastia.

For pseudogynecomastia, you can do certain exercises and lose weight to decrease the size and appearance of the man boobs. Some OTC medications can also aid in reducing the male breast size. In some cases, surgery is an option.

To determine which type you have, you should consult with a doctor.

Gynecomastia surgery in Tampa costs around $3000-5000 depending on the type of method used to remove the fatty tissue and how in demand the plastic surgeon. There may be additional costs like anesthesia, facility costs, etc…

Most gyno surgery isn’t covered by insurance since it’s considered cosmetic. But not to worry, you can obtain a medical loan with a low interest rate to have the procedure if you’re tight on money.

As you can see there are viable options to get rid of your man boobs. The best thing to do is consult with a physician.

Even though this seems very simple to maintain a good diet, exercise, and follow a plan. But many people struggle with them….

What is the proper diet to follow? There are so so many diets for diabetics on the market today, it’s enough to make your head spin! The Atkins diet, the South Beach Diet, carbohydrate exchange list, and the list goes on and on…

The problem with many of the diabetics diets on the market is they’re not practical for the everyday person. Sure most people can follow them for a few weeks and a month but eventually they’ll revert back to their old ways.

Reversing type 2 diabetes comes down to finding a diet that is customizable to you and your lifestyle, also something that’s not going to break the bank when you go grocery shopping. You may have to try a few types of diets until you can stick with one that fits you.

The same goes for exercise! P90X, Crossfit, or Insanity may or may not be for you. You may enjoy biking or swimming or walking….

Whatever your flavor, you just need to pick something that you can enjoy and stick with for a long period of time. It comes down to just “get your body in motion.” You want to get your heart rate up, calories burning, and you breaking a sweat.

When you can combine the a diet that fits you and a workout that you ACTUALLY enjoy doing, you won’t have a problem sticking to the program. This can ultimately lead you to reversing the effects of diabetes or at least prevent it from getting worse.
